Neon Green Rasbora - Microdevario kubotai

from £4.50

The Neon Green Rasbora is an absolute little gem of a fish that brings a rare and spectacular pop of colour to any aquarium.

Measuring in at just under 2cm when fully grown, these tiny wonders boast a brilliant, iridescent lime-green shimmer that glows under aquarium lighting.

Because green is such an unusual colour in freshwater fish, a shimmering shoal of these little beauties darting amongst your plants is a sight you won't quickly forget!

They are incredibly peaceful and highly social creatures, meaning they need to be kept in a lively group of at least six—though the more, the merrier.

Watching a confident group of them exploring the middle and upper levels of your tank is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.

Looking after Neon Green Rasboras is a joy, making them a brilliant choice for both nano setups and larger, peaceful community tanks.

They feel most at home in a well-planted aquarium with a gentle water flow, and you'll find that using a darker substrate really makes their neon colours stand out beautifully.

Because they have such tiny mouths, feeding time requires just a little bit of thought; they'll happily tuck into high-quality crushed flakes, micro pellets, and tiny frozen treats like daphnia or baby brine shrimp.

They are generally hardy little fish, provided their water is kept clean and stable.

If you're tempted to add a splash of neon to your underwater world, pop down to Pet Aqua—Simon and the team are always on hand to help you create the perfect planted paradise for these glowing little wonders.
